best swimsuits of 2018

You know it’s summer when it’s hot… regardless of what the calendar says.  Summer started officially yesterday but it’s been feeling pretty hot in this town for over a week.  And I’m very happy about that… The arrival of summer entails long days spent at the beach for some and at the swimming pool for most.  I particularly prefere them in this order, the latter for use and the former for view.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good resort by the beach and all that comes along with it; cocktails, grilled seafood and people watching.  Now when it comes to getting in the ocean and getting sticky sand all over my body, not so much.  So I prefer “Le Piscine” which allows me to enjoy the water, the cocktails, the grilled seafood and the people watching whithout the sand.  It’s time now to add one more swimsuit to our bathing suit inventory.  Read on for..

I remember the time when maternity clothes were anything but fashionable.  Lot’s of big shapeless maternity dresses, stretchy pants, pleated top, and other unflattering options… Nowadays, things are different, pregnant women have found the way to look not only cute while pregnant but also stylish, chic and very well put together.  I remember while pregnant I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of wearing heels and a baby bump-hugging dress (although I find the name super adorable and they look very comfortable and fitting for the mother’s body.)  However, now if I were to try to embark on that journey again, I might even consider it.  To be honest, pregnancy after the third trimester is very hard on the body and it’s more so on the back, so I believe this is an approach that can be conceived prior to those months, after that all that you really want is to get it over with and get to meet the new addition to the family.  Meanwhile, until those final weeks come, pregnant women can still look good in one of these casual and chic maternity fashion outfits.  Below, a roundup of stylish maternity clothes.

Bavaria is a state on the Southeastern part of Germany.  The beautiful city of Munich is the Capital of Bavaria and its surrounding charming areas.  I am not referring to the traditional Bavarian way of dressing, Dirndl which many young women wear during Oktoberfest and in many cases on the weekends, and yes, in public.  Lol.  Rather I will refer to the way modern Bavarian women or Munchenerin, dress on a daily basis to run errands while riding their bikes.  Yes it really is as idyllic as it sounds and yes this is as modern as they would dare to go.  I know that in the US this would be considered Classic.  I really enjoyed living in Munich and got the pleasure of meeting many modern, welcoming and sweet Muncheners and they all shared the same characteristics of dressing.  Bavarian women have a very classic and understated way of dressing.  They smartly avoid trends and prints and love an Isabel Marant anything.  They keep the color quantity under three which derive only from neutrals.  Black, white, camel, browns and greys are among their favorites.  Just as Christian Dior suggests.   Although when it comes to color use, Bavarians would prefer dark colors like dark oranges, dark greens and burgundy.  Here is my take on how modern Bavarian women dress and the best fashion pieces to follow suit.

I like pink, especially that tone of pink that is subtle and goes great with darker tones as taupe, browns and greens.  Most of these pink pieces listed here are on sale, others like the home accessories are vintage.  Who doesn’t love a good sale…

The charming Italian Modern brass and enamel sconce is pretty chic and it’s vintage which makes it more valuable.  Who doesn’t always need more bow blouses, this costume silk shirt in a light pink would go great with brown pants.  Love this dress my Lisa Marie Fernandez.  A chic velvety shoulder bag.  Isn’t this pair of woven willow glass wine bottles super chic to use as decorative objects.  Pink boots for when there is no snow outside.  Pink pants.  Pretty pillow because it’s good to change things up a bit once in a while and there is no easier way to do it than with pillow.  Modern classic chairs, set of 4.  And last but not least this modern-style pink sofa is not only pretty but it’s on sale also.
